You need to delete "almost" from the above statement.

Browns haven't had a single GM capable of being called "good" at the draft.Heckert was the best among the whole group going back to Lombardi, the Original, and I'd rate Tom average.

What's puzzling is that a team that desperately needs to add depth in some key spots passed on the 4th and 5th rounds in the draft while other teams fed at the trough. Lombardi thinks he'll use those two extra picks wisely next year. I'll be amazed if that happens.

Well, the guy before Lombardi gave up several draft picks to move up a spot for a running back.

Steve F'n Holden.

Ike Curtis was right there! Right there, man!

That's right! A genius move to give up a draft pick to move up a spot to take a running back who is hurt all the time. In all fairness to Richardson, he is a fine back when healthy and a lot of players have a very high opinion of TRich. But TRich is the poster boy now for why you don't take a RB so high. It'll be interesting to see if TRich can overtake Doug Martin and Alfred Morris this season to become, over time, best running back from his 2012 draft class.
